No. ISL. Jesse l.. Reno Xix v. Noses
Spear. In this case the jury were charged
this morning and the case given to the jury
before 10 O'clock. During the forenoon
they returned verdict for the plaintiff to
recover SASS and his costs. This is the
full amount of the wages claimed by plain
tiff and interest. The names of counsel
have already been given. At this time all
OF the jury in attendance, except the panel
who were trying the next case were dis

the town of Vershire was the next case for
trial. This was an action of assumpsit to
recover for legal services rendered by the
plaintiffs for the benefit of said town and
for money paid out by them. The defense
was that 5. y. Darling, who was Overseer
of the poor of Vershire at the time and who
employed the plaintiff was not authorized
to make such employment and bind the
town to pay the same. The services were
performed in the suit of Rufus Blanchard
V. John MOrey to fOreclOse mortgage
John Morey was a town charge and OAR
ling as oyerseer of the poor, stepped in to
of Vershire. Darling testified that he did
mot employ the plaintiff for the town but
the jury evidently believed otherwise. The
court charged the jury that If Darling, as
0verseer Of the poor, employed the plain
TIL as claimed, that 1t would bind the town
to pay the bill of plaintiffs. The argument
was opened and. closed by Mr.. Harvey for
plaintiffs, and Watson and Dickey argued
for defendant. ,-,.......e

To ANYONE WHOM THE "CAP WILL F1r.'
There is and has been for some time
slanderous gossip going the rounds
among people who live not very fal
from here, concerning a young CIR
who has lived in this neighborhood fOl
tOmcy years, until last February,wflan
she moved with her parents to West
Fairlee. Were it not for the latter
fact, probably there would be no oc.
casion for this letter. As it is, the one
concerned knows nothing of the good
(?) that is being said about her. Now
my good people, is it not about time
for you to know what you are talking
about? If you think it is, let me in
form you that it's all an infamous lie
from beginning to end. 1t is bad
enough to be forced to admit of wrong
doing when it occurs, but when you
put innocent ones into your dish of
SANDER. it's about time to stop mixing.
1t is deplorable fact that in every
community there is class of people
ready to believe ill of anyone, young
people in particular are their special
prey. They can draw on their imag-
nation any time and find the missing
link in a chain of circumstances. We
hear occasionally that young girls are
not what they used to be in our grand
mothers day. Perhaps they are not,
but somehow l believe the old girls are
to blame. Practice little instead of
preaching all the time. Let every
mother consider every girl as innocent
as her own, until she proves to the con-
trary. In the latter case be charitable
by saying little. remembering that
scandal like curses might come home
to rOOst.

County Registrars.
rGreenville Times.1

IGreenville Times
The State Board of registration
has appointed registrars, two
Democrats and one Republican, in
most ofthe counties for the ensu-
ing election. The appointees for
this county are Tn Pohl, VIM.
Griffin and Peter MithelI.
It is the custom for these officials
to be appointed upon the recon-
mendation Of the political organl-
cations of the counties, through
their executive committees. There
was, we learn, a departure from
this custom in the case Of several
counties where there are factions
or independent movements; one
Democrat being accorded each Of
the two followings. There may
have been especial reasons for this
innovation; but We are disposed t.
regard it as grave error.

With a feeling of sadness, which
always impresses US most, when a
young man who promises a life of
usefulness, is stricken by the fell
Destroyer, we record the death of
our young friend CHARLIE BARNES,
son Of the Rev. J.. NJ. Barnes,
which sorrowful event occurred in
this city on Monday evening last.
Charlie Barnes was a young man
of great moral worth; sober, in
dustrious and intelligent. and it
seems such a pity, that just as he
was entering fairly upon the stage
Of action, he could not be spared
to the community that appreciated
and esteemed him for bis manly
virtues, as an associate, example
and guide for our young men, upon
whom the cares of Church and
State must soon rest. But He
that doeth all things well hath or
dered it otherwise, and hard as it
may be, we should bow with hum
bic submission to His holy will.
May the religion which Charles
reverend father breaches, and his
kind, good mother has ever striven
to practice, sustain them in this
terrible hour Of trial, aud may
their great affection contain a hid
den blessing to them and their fam
lily, is the sincere wish Of numer-
Gus sympathizing friends.

As Governor Lowry was our

be civil, and almost feel too courte-

permitted to say that he brings the
"whipper-snapper" editors into
more prominence than they de-
serve. It is to be hoped, however
tina! the FIVE or six which he says
make up the number in the State,
will not take the bighead, or feel
too highly elevated, because for
once they stand on an equality
with the Governor. The moral to
this is: There is room up higher
